Ferguson is a rural neighborhood located in Bossier City, Louisiana, with great potential to grow. “We have a lot of employment opportunities, and that is a big draw to this area,” says Louis Johnson, Public Information Officer of Bossier City. “We have an Amazon plant opening very soon, and the gaming industry is really popular with five or six casinos in the area, so people are moving to Furguson for jobs.” Ferguson features Interstate 20 on the south side of the neighborhood and Interstate 220 to the north, so there is a lot of retail in the bordering area; however, the neighborhood itself is mostly residential.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
